Illegal Alien Agenda at Democrats’ Retreat

Today, President Obama told Members of Congress at the Democratic Issues Conference in Maryland that “when it comes to immigration reform, we have to remind ourselves that there are people behind the statistics, that there are lives that are being impacted.” The people behind the high unemployment numbers and impacted negatively by amnesty who lawmakers should be concerned about are the American workers. Sadly that’s not who the President and House Democrats at the conference are talking about.

Obama told House Democrats to pursue bills advancing an “immigration policy in this country that grows our economy, gets people out of the shadows, [and]makes sure that our businesses are thriving.” He mentions business interests and illegal aliens, but where are the American people he is supposed to serve?

House Democrats at this retreat are similarly focused on the needs of illegal aliens over those of unemployed Americans. Representatives Brad Sherman (D-Calif.) and Juan C. Vargas (D-Calif.) posed questions to the President about immigration, but these Members of Congress were also only concerned with the families of illegal aliens. Representative Sherman wanted to know what President Obama could do for parents of so-called “DREAMers,” illegal aliens brought to the country as children, if the House does not act on amnesty this year. Representative Vargas wanted to know what Obama was going to do about relatives of deported individuals. Yesterday’s Democrats’ retreat schedule shows that amnesty remains high on their agenda, including an immigration panel moderated by Representative Joaquin Castro (D-Texas), featuring the presidents of two pro-amnesty groups: National Council of La Raza and Center for American Progress.

Ultimately, President Obama’s message to the House Democrats at their retreat was: “Don’t take your foot off the pedal.” House Democrats are all too willing to heed his advice on immigration policy. Together, these lawmakers just let illegal aliens drive their agenda. They don’t care if they run down American workers to get there, as long as it is full steam amnesty ahead.

REALITY!!! The reality is, that OUR politicians, the President, Senators, Representatives, and some Governors and City governments have sold out the American People!! Democrats AND Republicans alike only care about the
reality of what happens in their elite little world, not the real world we live in. After all they have a comfy life and a
guaranteed retirement, all paid by us the American taxpayers!
They don’t seem to remember that the decent jobs we Americans had at decent livable wages, are where ours and
their livelihood came from. When all of the Americans are unemployed and on welfare (if there is any!!) and the
illegals are working at lower paying jobs and their families are on welfare also…….In REALITY, who is going to pay for it all then??????

Is there some alternate reality at work here? “Gets people out of the shadows”? Where ever they may happen to be, they are hiding because of their own actions. “People behind the statistics”? Uh, yeah, people who crossed the border illegally or overstayed a visa. Cry me a fricking river over people who break the law and then are victims who need to be rewarded with citizenship.

The president was just in California pledging help with their drought. Not mentioning of course his total hypocrisy in supporting measures that will not only provide an amnesty for illegals, but up our legal immigration to almost 2 million a year. And where does all the extra water for THEM come from, if we can’t even provide it now. And where are the phonies at the Sierra Club on the issue? They’re too busy portraying as racist those who point out that immigration driven population growth is a huge detriment to our environment.
